How to Submit Your Manuscript or Proposal

We prefer that you send an e-mail query initially. If your concept fits within our parameters, please provide a succinct description of your proposal and how your concept is unique—compared to other resources in the market. Please include a brief explanation of your ministry experience and publishing history, if any. Send query to our Director of Publishing Administration, Rev. Debra Berry: dberry@sspbnbc.com.

First, send an e-mail query.
If a publisher contacts you and requests a manuscript, you may then send a submission by REGULAR mail. Do not submit your work via fax or e-mail. We cannot review your proposal over the phone.

A typed, double-spaced copy of your manuscript (if your manuscript is less than 1,500 words)

A typed, double-spaced copy of your manuscript (if your manuscript is more than 1500 words). This sample should include an introduction and one or two well-written chapters—not to exceed 3,500 words?as well as a summary of remaining chapters or material.

A self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage for the publisher's response and the return of your manuscript. (We will recycle your manuscript pages if you do not want it to be returned.)

Unless you are a professional illustrator, it is not necessary—or even advisable—to include any illustration with your proposal. Please DO NOT send original artwork.
